[QUOTE="RadioHowie, post: 699085, member: 426"] Logic tells me lowering the bike 2 inches is gonna make it 2 inches harder to get the tire out from under the fender. I'd keep a floor jack handy to put under the swingarm to get the bike up high enough if this mod was done. But hey, you make sacrifices when you re-engineer something. Lower the bike to make it easier to ride if you're vertically challenged versus slight pain-in-the-ass every 3 or 4 months to change out a ragged out rear tire? I say put a car tire on the back and stop worrying for 30 thousand-plus miles. :) [/QUOTE]
